Share Your Orders Thread

Just placed my first order with Whispering Pines Tea Company because of the promotion they put up. Even though I shouldn’t be buying anything until next month, it was too good to pass up. I really have to avoid looking in the ‘Tea Companies & Promotions’ discussions….or selecting the general ‘All discussions’ choice. Lol.

Plus the free box of filters (8.50 value!)
Plus free shipping for over $50
(minus the fee my bank will charge for using my credit card to a non US company…my first order of about $35 resulted in about a $1 fee…so it’s reasonable since I get 1% “Disney” cash back for using my card:)

Grand Total $69.75

OBVIOUSLY, I wanted to get more….but I shouldn’t be spending more money, lol…..I just want more variety! ;-)
Now with Whispering Pines current sale…I’m pondering a small order with them….sigh I wish I had more $$$

I was going to order 100g of the blueberry jam BUT I didn’t want to end up not liking it…plus I wanted to get another flavor so I figured I could get 50g of both then whenever I order again I’ll get a larger portion if I do love it(and HOPEFULLY have more tea money by then, lol)

So I just placed my first Whispering Pines order!! I’ve been wanting to place an order with them since about last Nov, so I finally decided to, with that awesome free 1 oz of tea deal (although it doesn’t apply to sleeping bear blend, which I had to try!)

I almost ordered the Honeysuckle White Tea, but I wasn’t sure about the sage note they mention in the description. I’m ot a fan of sage anything and having a mention of it in my tea doesn’t sound appealing. Lol.
Though I’d be interested to hear what you thought of this one when it arrives. ^^

Yeah that looked interesting, I enjoy white teas and they are the bf’s favorite so that’s the main reason that one made it on the list :) I will definitely write a note on it! I’ve also been wanting to order it since it was first released, finally got a chance to. Your order from them looks epic btw, I will watch for your notes too!

I had already made up a shopping card from Tealux. Was going to wait a week or so before I bought MORE tea, but then I saw the 25% off sale, and decided to go ahead and order a bunch of stuff. As a newbie, I really like that they have sample sizes for sale so that you can try a bunch with out committing to a large bag. I ordered:

Those prices are before discount. Total bill was $60.68. Free shipping over 60.00. I had about 55.00 in my cart and shipping was going to be $9.99, made sense to me to add a few more samples to get the free shipping. Would rather pay for tea than shipping, more for me to try. :))

LOL, noooooooo. I’m a newbie who hasn’t tried very much. Seemed like a good opportunity to try a bunch of stuff that I’ve never had before. Samples for $1-1.5 then 25% off seemed like a good deal to me………

I actually have a system that’s working for me. I only open a few teas at a time. Like one of each kind. A flavored black, oolong, rooibos, etc. I drink those first, when I open a new one, I open one to replace what I just finished – oldest bought first. I also don’t have enough tins for all my teas, so I try to use the ones that come in the “folded packages” before the ones that are “sealed”. Just trying to keep variety available to drink, and keep as many “fresh” as possible. Hoping to get more tins so this isn’t such an issue. For now this is working for me.

So even though technically my TRYALLTHETEAS phase has come to an end, since Frank of 52Teas has a 20% discount going (plus I have a 10% off ‘Frank was Late’ discount coupon on top of that) I figured I’d be stupid not to order something. So I nabbed two pouches of the Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish and one pouch of Weeping Angel. Wish Coconut Cream Pie was available in time for these coupons. Ah well.

Getting tempted to threaten buying an entire pound to entice him to blend. ;)

You can buy them in really adorable tagalong tins for $4. The designs for all of Marcus Samuelsson’s teas is fantastic. I almost bought 20 sachet size for the tins, but I thought it would be wiser to go with a sample size. :)

Well, based on the description of White Christmas, I simply had no choice but to order two packages of it. Especially since he offered a 20% off coupon. I would have bought one more but that would have brought my available money down to about $3 until the 3rd. :-/
